Apex Legends landed with a bang last Wednesday and has already shaken up the battle royale genre in a big way. While it doesn’t quite have Pubg or Fortnite shaking in their boots, the 10 million (and growing) player count in less than a week will definitely have them nervously looking over their shoulders at this stylish young upstart. And perhaps they should be nervous.
After all, no game stays super-popular forever and while Fortnite at least is doing a great job in keeping players engaged with fresh events, Apex Legends is the new big deal in town. And as far as I’m concerned, it’s lived up to the hype.
I’m not exactly bored of Fortnite, but it’s extremely familiar now, whereas the dynamic movement of Apex Legends combined with the cool character skills, interesting world and excellent Smart Comms system makes me excited to make the drop every single round.
